Abstract
Language disorder is one of communication impairment which can be treated by using language therapy. The research aims to formulate therapy based on a linguistic approach which can be applied to the patient of language disorder. The method used is a behavioral therapy method which is one of language therapy (logopedia) method that can be applied to improve communication skill for an adult who has an expressive and receptive impairment. The model is designed to improve linguistic behaviour for an adult with expressive and receptive aphasia by focusing on functional communication. The results show that aphasic patients are significant improvement of phonological and lexical accuracy. In the last mouth of the third-mount stage of speech therapy, the intended meaning can be identified by the patient based on the speech act. The progress indicates the improvement of the patient’s skill in communication. Almost 87% of 50 speech situations used in the test shows improvement in pronunciation and word accuracy. The result is based on the numbers of phonological, lexical, and semantic error during the application of behaviour therapy model. Furthermore, it is also supported by the normal direction of speaking and phonological accuracy which can be inferred from stimulus trial and speech analyzer of the patients.
